When Lan Yao and Cangyan returned to the Jizhou General's Mansion, it had just dawned.

The thin clouds were blown to pieces by the wind, and the twilight on the horizon felt like a storm was coming.

I thought that Zhao Zhicheng would definitely withdraw from the border of Liang State this time, after all, if the 300,000 army had no food and grass, there would be only one way to die in front of the invincible Jizhou. However, what is surprising is that Zhao Zhicheng did not retreat from the army, but continued to camp outside Jizhou without fear, just like when he learned that the grain and grass were burned.

And according to the burning of the granary, but an hour apart.

If Zhao Zhicheng does not retreat, Cangyan's time is limited, even if he can hold Jizhou when he is there. But once he leaves, Jizhou will have no one to defend, so everything must be resolved quickly!

"Is there any support from Ao Guo?" When Cang Yan returned to the General's Mansion, he returned to the table and began to prepare for war, his life was counting down every day, if he didn't deal with these tricky things together, then the Liang State would be destroyed.

"Ao Guo is also too busy to take care of himself now, and there are no extra troops to come to support." Li Zhongtian frowned and said, this news only came a quarter of an hour ago, and he didn't expect why this Ao country was also in crisis.

"Ao Guo? How can you take care of yourself? As soon as Lan Yao heard the news of Ao Guo, she immediately stood up from the pear blossom carved wooden chair, her eyes were as black as lacquer, and she lost the leisurely demeanor just now.

"Now that the Empress Dowager of Ao Guo is in power, she has learned from men to strategize and lead the country. The courtiers under her initially settled for a while, but the ministers are now not in the early dynasty on the grounds of illness and other reasons, in order to force the Empress Dowager Yongshou to abdicate. Li Zhongtian said peacefully on his face, in his opinion, most of the women who played with power ended in misery, and it was a blessing that the Empress Dowager Yongshou was not forced into the palace.

"Why are the ministers of this Ao country suddenly like this?" Lan Yao raised her voice and said that she had seen the group of wine bags and rice bags in Ao Guo, in order to keep Xiang Shang's head, it was impossible for them to do such a thing, there must be another hidden truth behind this.

"It is said that a minister of Ao found that the emperor's elder brother had divorced a concubine while looking through the royal family tree, so he found the concubine by the vine. That little concubine now has a sixteen-year-old son, and her face looks four points similar to the elder brother of the former emperor of the Xi Kingdom, so it can be inferred that he is the royal bloodline. Therefore, the courtiers were excited and wanted to put him on the throne, which can be regarded as an orthodox bloodline. Li Zhongtian replied.

Yes, under the rule of the idea of male superiority and inferiority of women, no man is willing to submit to the feet of women.

Therefore, although the Empress Dowager Yongshou of Ao State is in power, it is unknown how many of the courtiers under her are loyal to her.

She just didn't expect that in just a few months, her mother's situation would return to an embattled situation.

The vassal state of Liang rose up, and the Ao State had a royal orphan, and Cangyan died soon.

Lan Yao didn't know why, but always felt that these three things were vaguely connected.

Cang Yan and Li Zhongtian were discussing tactics, Lan Yao didn't know anything about the terrain of Jizhou and the situation of the enemy army, and it was not easy to interfere, so she withdrew from the wing.

went around the General's Mansion several times, and finally found Father-in-law Su in a private room.

"Miss Lan Yao, you're here." As soon as Father-in-law Su opened the door, he saw the face as beautiful as a fairy, her face was like a flower that was gorgeous to the extreme, and a faint smile rose at the corner of her mouth.

"Grandpa Su, I have something to ask you." Lan Yao lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, but she couldn't help but ask.

"The girl came in." Father-in-law Su stepped aside and let Lan Yao enter the house.

Father-in-law Su personally made a cup of tea for Lan Yao, and the tea leaves were bright in color and fragrant.

"Why don't you ask the maid to make tea?" Lan Yao knew that Father-in-law Su was used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, and it was rare to make tea by himself today.

"Now in Jizhou, where the war is in crisis, how can there be any maids, the entire general's mansion is full of a bunch of big men, and the women have already evacuated." When Gonggong Su spoke, his voice was very peaceful, and his eyes flashed with a different kind of brilliance, which was trust and trust in Cangyan.

Lan Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, which was sweet. Her eyes narrowed slightly, half-open and half-closed, hiding her thoughts in her eyes, "Grandpa Su, when did Cangyan get this disease?" ”

Father-in-law Su was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Miss Lan Yao to come and ask such a thing.

His eyelashes were crooked, his thoughts drifted away, and he began to recall everything, "It was three months ago that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince picked up a distinguished guest. ”

"Guest?" Lan Yao raised her eyebrows, Cang Yan had never mentioned these things to her, and she didn't ask about them.

"Well, it's a beauty from Persia. Now she is the concubine Jing in the palace of His Royal Highness the Prince. Father-in-law Su spoke eloquently, he watched the tea leaves float and sink in the cup, and a trace of pain crossed his eyes. His noble Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a short life now, but he is dedicated to the front line for the country.

The emperor didn't know this, if he knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had only one month left in his life, he would definitely imprison His Royal Highness in the palace and work hard every day for the birth of the emperor's grandson.

"Since it's just a concubine, why do you say that you are a distinguished guest?" Lan Yao was puzzled. Judging from Cangyan's attitude towards the harem, she probably understands that Cangyan doesn't regard those concubines as his people at all, but more of some dispensable decorations, even the crown princess is no exception.

All the graces, he took as he pleased.

He has no real heart, and his deep affection is given to her.

"It was a deal between the King of Persia and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. The Persian woman was the favorite concubine of the Persian queen's harem, and because of her excessive favor, she was jealous and almost died. Later, it was found out that the woman was pregnant with a dragon son, and the Persian king was afraid that something would happen, so he arranged an identity for the woman and sent her to the Liang Kingdom with another Persian woman. "Father-in-law Su completely regarded Lan Yao as his master, and he gave it all out without any cover.

As soon as the information came out, a feeling of non-existence flashed in Lan Yao's mind, she seemed to have caught clues, but there was a faint layer of fog in front of her.

"How did Cangyan get in touch with the king of Persia?" Lan Yao couldn't figure it out, this Persia was 108,000 miles away from the Liang country, and there was no diplomatic relations between the two countries, and no envoys were sent around on weekdays. If Persia wants to ask for help, the first thing should be to ask for help from the Wind Country, not to seek the near and far.

By the way, now that the Wind Country has abolished the harem, and the Ao Kingdom has no king at all.

Now only Liang Guo is left as the only barrier.

After all, Liang is a big country, and it is just easy to protect a woman.

"In his early years, when the prince was on a study tour, he used to go to Persia. I stumbled upon the Persian Colosseum, so I deliberately approached the King of Persia, and the two sides exchanged some conditions I really don't know, but I know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been in contact with the King of Persia later. Grandpa Su explained, he slowly stood up, walked to the window, looked at the gray sky, and sighed: "It's going to change." ”

Night.

"I'd like to cook a meal for you today, okay?" Cang Yan hugged the beauty in his arms, his eyes were full of lingering friendship, his fingers played with her strands of hair, and the soft touch made him admire in his heart.

"Why do you suddenly want to cook for me?" Lan Yao raised his eyes and looked at the man in front of him.

He had a pair of very beautiful blue eyes, the light of those eyes flowed, the beautiful inky hair was pulled up, and the jade crown was carved with dragon patterns, inlaid with pearls. The skin is like condensed fat, obviously so thin, but the kingly breath that exudes from the whole body makes people dare not touch it at will. He was cold, and even the tone of his speech was a little colder than that of ordinary people.

"You cooked me a meal, and I naturally want you to try my craft." Cang Yan smiled suddenly, and the gentleness in his eyes bloomed, like a flower blooming in early March, refreshing people's hearts.

"Okay." Lan Yao is not shirking after all, since he wants to do it, let him do it.

Cang Yan lowered his head, left a deep kiss on her fair and smooth forehead, and gently removed her from his arms, he said, "Wait for me." ”

Like the wind, it disappeared into the wing.

Lan Yao lay on the soft couch, looking at the tent veil on the top of his head, spraying fragrant musk deer is the taste of Cangyan, the tent is mainly black, and there are curtains hanging on it, all of which are full.

She frowned, piecing together the information she knew, as if the mystery was about to be revealed.

"The dishes are ready, and the hands are ready to eat." Cang Yan's cold voice sounded, she got up from the soft collapse, and saw the man who was like a fairy, he was wearing a black robe, stepping on dragon boots, opening the food box in his hand, and placing dishes on the table one by one.

He sank his handkerchief into the golden basin to make sure it was soaked. Wringing out the handkerchief, he walked in front of her with the handkerchief, he carefully raised her left hand, and the warm and steaming handkerchief wrapped her plain hand, and wiped it carefully.

Lan Yao always felt that today's Cangyan seemed to be very different, he had never had such tenderness, as if he wanted to express all his love tonight.

After a while, his two hands had been wiped clean, and he caressed Lan Yao's face with his fingertips, his eyes were full of seriousness that he had never felt before, as if he wanted to remember her face clearly, and he said, "I regret it." ”

"What?" Lan Yao raised her head, strands of smooth hair scattered, and her face was so beautiful that people forgot to breathe.

"In order to drive you away, I returned the wooden hairpin you gave me. Are you willing to give it to me now? His eyes were full of hope, and he was longing.

"Okay." Lan Yao didn't say a word, took out the clumsy wooden hairpin from the ring, put it in his palm, and then said, "In the future, I will make you a better one." ”

"Hmm." A smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.

······

How can there be a wobbly feeling? It's like you're bouncing on the sea.

Lan Yao tried to open his eyes, but he couldn't muster up his strength at all.

I'm afraid I ate too much last night, and I was tired not long after eating, but Cangyan personally helped her wash up, and carried her back to the bed, vaguely she seemed to hear his voice.

He said, "I'm sorry. ”

Why did he apologize?

"Cang······ Yan ······" She muttered, subconsciously raising her hand and groping around her.

"Miss Lan Yao, you're awake."

This is not Cangyan's voice!

Lan Yao opened her eyes suddenly, and the scene in front of her surprised her.
